Is it Okay to Celebrate Myself

Achieving a fitness goal that has taken me 8-years to achieve? Hell yes!! Especially, as there is no one to share with, and say, “you go girl!”
The workout I did today, I couldn’t do in my 50s. It was just too fast paced, and too hard. I’ve attempted it a few times in these years, but gave up. Well, today, I did the whole routine. It was challenging, but fun, and it felt great that I could actually do it, with a few modifications to preserve my knees. This means I’m fitter today than I was when I was in my 50s. Heck, apart from all the arthritis and disk problems, I’m fitter now than when I was 30. Go Me! 🏆

What does a sextagenarian workout consist of then?
(I'm really careful about sit ups and press ups as they both end up causing me to strain muscles).

I do a variety of workouts. Step aerobics, kickboxing (one I did today that was very advanced - well all my workouts are advanced, but I modify some because of my knees), other cardio consists of burpees, mountain climbers, squat jumps, ski jumps (I have to be discerning with jumps, and keep them low jumps) jumping jacks, etc. Then I lift weights for upper and lower body, and yoga and mobility training. @GeniUs

@GeniUs I have to limit my shoulder work, due to an overtraining injury about a year ago. It still bothers me.
